This formatter stymies my skills, and I can't center the photo descriptions.

The above are an outgrown cemetery in Sarajevo, a barricade to protect people from sniper fire, and a facade's destruction from artillery fire.

Though not usually at a loss for apropos description, I cannot summon an adequate vocabulary to describe this breathing manifestation of all things wrong with humans.

He directed the shelling of Sarajevo, along with the snipers who, from the surrounding mountains, made leaving those large targets an essay in self destruction.

He waged a war to erase the Muslims in Bosnia, at horror spots like Grozade, Srbenica, Zepa, and Mostar, and many other towns I can't recall.

He set up rape camps, where girls and young women were raped and impregnated, making them unclean in the eyes of the largely moronic Muslin religion.

In many towns and cities in Bosnia, churches and mosques were leveled, property was seized or destroyed, and boys and men were rounded up, shot, and buried with backhoes and bulldozers in massed, shallow graves. Those allowed to live, not worth raping or killing, fled. Ever doubt survivors guilt?

And most of the time the US sat, while our scholars debated whether this really was ethnic cleansing, really was genocide. Like it fucking mattered.

Clinton said the most difficult decision in his presidency was whether to put US troops in harm's way in Bosnia. Would that fuckwit Bush have exercised the same deliberation, we would not have spent hundreds of billions of dollars, and thousands of American lives (and only a humanitarian, someone who actually cares, mention the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi dead, mostly civilians, mostly women and children). Good job, Georgie. No sacrifice quenched your appetite for oil earnings.

So now the guy who ordered and approved all these horrors is on trial at The Hague.

And he's saying it's too short notice to prepare a defence.

Hell doesn't last long enough to defend this guy, even as The Hague continues to reduce charges.

If it was one of yours, ever, would you like to see that charge reduced for the sake of expediency?

It almost makes me wish for a hell, a place for those like Karadzic, like Hitler, like Phil Sheridan, like Pol Pot. I'm sure I'm slighting hundreds, thousands of the most horrendous people ever, Richard Speck, Charles Manson, Osama Bin Laden, Ronald Reagan, and etc.

Sadly, no hell should include mass murderers like John Wayne Gacy, Jeffery Dahmer, and George Bush, along with some schmo who had a Slim Jim on Friday during Lent, somebody who missed church on Sunday.

We as a Nation are opposed to "cruel and unusual" punishment. As Christians, we look to an Ultimate Punishment from God.

We should not depend on anyone else to clean up our messes.

Let Karadzic's punishment befit his crimes, and let he die hundreds of thousands of the most painful deaths, over and over and over.

An apology: I did this from my memory of personal studies of atrocity, outrage, and genocide in the Balkans. There are most likely errors, several, or many. My post is my outrage that Karadzic is even alive, never mind lobbying for favors from the Court. All differences will be entertained, unless you think I'm not just wrong on technicality, but wrong in spirit, in which case, get your own blog.

They are free, and easy, else I could never have one.
